The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

Shui Rong put an Eighteenth Scholar flower in Daiyu's hand, the pink and tender camellia reflected Daiyu's slender white jade hand, which was more elegant and noble, looking at the shyness in Daiyu's eyes, Shui Rong held Daiyu Yusu gently kissed Daiyu with her hands, and held Daiyu tightly in her arms, feeling the freshness and fragrance of spring between heaven and earth together, as if there were only him and Daiyu in the world.

Historian Xiangyun was dismissed, but it caused an uproar. Everyone blamed Xiangyun. After all, for such a thing, the Wei family's divorce could not be blamed on others, but Xiangyun's misbehavior in the past.

The rumors of people outside are even more unbearable. They all say that Xiangyun has a thought in his heart, and what he alludes to is Baoyu. Yun was betrothed to Baoyu, but in the end, he never mentioned it again. Just now he found a good husband's family for Xiangyun. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen again.

Mrs. Shi looked at Xiangyun who was crying endlessly, feeling a little upset in her heart, and said, "Why are you still crying now? I have always told you to stay away from those who have no identity, but you just don't listen "The third girl is just a concubine girl. Although the old lady values ​​it very much, it's just a matter of face. The Xue family of the imperial merchant is even more inferior to your status. You are born to be self-willed and depraved. You have lost all the face of our mansion by obeying her."

After listening to Mrs. Shi's words, Xiangyun raised her tearful eyes and said nana authentically: "Although it is true, it is not true. Auntie also understands that the three sisters are also very good people on weekdays, and sister Bao is also very honest. Dear people, on weekdays everyone is on a blind date, so it's great to get close, who would have thought that such a thing would happen." There was some resentment in my heart.

Mrs. Shi looked at Xiangyun coldly, and snorted coldly: "It is false to say that you are still Miss Qianjin, and you let them manipulate you. You are really a lump of elm, and you have lost all face of our family. You say that you are sisters." If we really count, the only blood relative to us is Princess Beijing. Why don’t you see that you and Princess Beijing are sisters? On the contrary, you always obey the words of Miss Xue and target Princess Beijing everywhere. Is it also the dignity of your daughter?"

Xiang Yun was speechless at the words. After all, what Mrs. Shi said was very true, but after all, there was some resentment in her heart, and she said: "If it wasn't for their couple this time, such a thing would not have happened, but it is also Well, after getting married, I think I am very happy to love my brother, and it is naturally very good to be able to accompany my brother to recite poems and fight against each other." Mrs. Shi was even more angry after saying these words, and couldn't help but raised her hand and gave Xiangyun a hug. With a slap, tears flowed down his eyes.

That Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, seeing her always gentle aunt hit him, and her heart became even more confused. Looking at Xiangyun's expression, Mrs. Shi couldn't help crying: "If it wasn't for the promise to the elder that day And madam, if I didn’t have any sons and daughters under my knees, I would definitely drive you out. It’s so impolite, where is all the poetry and etiquette you have learned in the past? It’s true that you said such words. It’s really a waste of the usual teaching.”

Pointing at Xiangyun with trembling fingertips, he said sharply: "On weekdays, you said that we were tired of sewing in our mansion until late at night, but you asked yourself, the progress of this family is not as good as every day. Which one of the whole family is the one who enjoys blessings? People? I think about you because it is delicious and easy to use, and I even made such a good marriage for you. I just persuaded you a little bit before, thinking that you are young, so you don’t have to worry about it, but now you are about to grow up. It’s still such a ignorant speech, what should I do?” Xiang Yun finally came to his senses after a long while, seeing her aunt’s angry expression, holding back the pain on her face but dared not speak.

"Do you really think that you are right? When you blocked the prince and concubine in the street, you have a few heads, and you messed around with the two of them, but now you don't want to repent, you just want to push the matter to others, and it is shameless to think about it. You, you, do you still have any sense of propriety and integrity? Don't let our family be implicated by you before you can rest."

Xiangyun couldn't help but picked up a handkerchief and covered his face and began to cry, but Mrs. Shi wiped away her tears and sighed: "Forget it, forget it, you should reflect on it in the room, now the matter of retiring is over It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to say any more." After saying that, he helped the door and walked out, and ordered the maid beside the door to prepare a carriage and prepare to go to Jia's mansion, so at least I should ask Mother Jia to come up with an idea.

Xiangyun in the room was thinking about everything but couldn't understand why her aunt was so angry, but she felt resentful towards Baochai and Tanchun in her heart. If they hadn't urged her to go, what happened today would not be what happened today, and there is no medicine for regret in the world today. But after eating, she kept crying, but there was a hint of secret joy in Fangxin's body. Now that she has no marriage, Baochai was kicked out by Mrs. Wang again. In the future, it may be interesting to say, but now it's better to live It's to please Jia's mother.

Mrs. Shi thought all the way, and finally entered Jia's mansion, and greeted Jia's mother. Jia's mother retreated from the maidservants who were serving on the side, looked at Mrs. Shi with cold eyes, and said in a low voice: "The matter of Yun girl What's going on now? The rumors outside are extremely ugly, and the imperial concubines who come and go in various mansions are also a little mocking, and they all talk about this Yun girl, which makes our family lose face."

Mrs. Shi wiped her tears and said: "It's just that, I usually persuade that girl a little bit, but who knows that she never listened to her at all, and now the trouble is getting more and more out of control, what should I do? Please ask the old lady to make up her mind."

Jia Mu said coldly: "On weekdays, this Yun girl is also extremely ignorant of etiquette. She didn't listen to the persuasion at all, and followed the Xue family's people to mess around. Now that something happened, what do you want me to do? This scandal It has spread among the rich and powerful, and I am afraid that no one will dare to come to ask for marriage in the future." My heart is even more resentful of Mrs. Wang's stupid behavior, if it weren't for her, the two girls who are now well-behaved for marriage would all be in trouble. ruined.

Fortunately, she was not too ignorant, drove that Xue Baochai out, and committed such a scandal, I'm afraid that the Xue family's contribution to the flames would definitely be indispensable, and she has long been displeased with them, and now she is finally happy in her heart. You don't need to worry about Xue Pan's affairs any more, and you don't need to listen to them.

Mother Jia couldn't help but blame Daiyu even more. If it wasn't for her, how could Xiangyun and Tanchun have come to such a point? Feeling even more depressed, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can go back for now. Let's talk about this matter after some time has passed. Now, I also let you make me lose the slightest idea." After hearing this, the madam had no choice but to nod and leave.

In Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Princess Zhongshun, who had heard Chen Yali's words, flatly rejected her proposal, and said bitterly, "Li'er, sister knows what you're thinking, but it's just that this matter must not be done. I have already told you extremely well that day. I understand, why don't you understand? The Prince of Beijing is devoted to serving the imperial court wholeheartedly, even if you enter the Palace of the Prince of Beijing, you will only cause trouble for yourself."

Chen Yali was really unhappy when she heard this, and said: "Sister, I told my sister about this matter after careful consideration. Although my brother-in-law has other thoughts in it, Li'er thought to herself, this Prince of Beijing is also a rare person. If Prince Beijing and brother-in-law can work together, the chances of winning for brother-in-law will be even greater."

Princess Zhongshun turned pale when she heard this, and said sharply: "Li'er, don't keep such thoughts in your heart anymore, Prince Beijing is extremely sensitive, and a little bit of wind and grass is enough to make him be on guard in every possible way. You The one my brother-in-law is most jealous of now is Prince Beijing, you don't know anything about the government, how can you understand the stakes?" The anger that gradually rose in her voice became more obvious, and she was even more angry that Chen Yali had set aside water for her own selfishness. regardless of things.

Chen Yali saw that Princess Zhongshun was really angry, and she felt a little pity in her heart, but she lowered her head and said nothing. Princess Zhongshun tried her best to suppress her anger, and took Chen Yali's hand and said, "Besides, there is Princess Zheng in the Beijing Palace, so why don't Li'er go over there?" Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be a concubine?" The worried look on Princess Zhongshun's face never faded away, she had always understood Chen Yali's temperament, how could she just How can such kindness be resigned to?

After listening to Princess Zhongshun's words, Chen Yali calmed down her thoughts, took Princess Zhongshun's hand and said, "Sister, this matter is just my idea, but it made my sister so angry, I really feel sorry for her. "The coquettish daughter's attitude is a coldness flashing in the eyes.

Princess Zhongshun patted Chen Yali's hand and sighed: "If it's really just your thoughts, that's fine. You must never bring up this matter again in the future. You can't provoke the Prince of Beijing. If you cause a huge disaster for our family Misfortune, but it's your fault." He looked at Chen Yali with a warning gaze, and his tone of voice did not allow Chen Yali to disobey in the slightest.

Chen Yali nodded after hearing this, and said: "Since my sister said so, then Li'er just obeyed." She really didn't mention the previous words, and while Princess Zhongshun felt relieved, she was even more worried.

Seeing Chen Yali walking out of the door, Princess Zhongshun pondered for a long time, called a maid beside her, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The maid nodded and followed Chen Yali and her party.

Princess Zhongshun breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed her forehead helplessly. Although Chen Yali was very talented, she was really not very clever. Dingnanhou and his wife were doted on in every possible way on weekdays, and after all, they were a bit arrogant and domineering On the body.

Chen Yali, who walked out of the room, changed her expression immediately. Instead of the usual gentleness on her face, there was a bit of coldness in her eyes. She turned around and looked at Princess Zhongshun's main room, and even smiled coldly.

She understands Princess Zhongshun's thoughts, it's nothing more than water seepage, just because of the different positions between the two governments, she doesn't agree to this marriage. Orphan girl?

What about the princess?It is really easy to get rid of such a weak woman. Thinking of this, Chen Yali even quickened her pace to go to Qingfengyuan where she lives, but she didn't notice the figure following behind her. Chen Yali was extremely calm for several days , but it made Princess Zhongshun feel a little more stable in her heart, and she gradually let go of her heart.

Today's Xue family can be described as "the house leaks and it rains all night". Xue Pan was arrested and all the shops in his house were burned down. I can't afford the monthly money.

It was precisely because Aunt Xue, mother and daughter were kicked out of Jia's mansion, Xue Biao saw that things in the capital were getting more and more out of hand, so after marrying Baoqin, he took everyone to leave the capital south, no matter how Aunt Xue, mother and daughter tried to keep them, Xue Biao But he never softened his heart. After all, there is no involvement between the eldest and the second wife. Furthermore, he is keeping himself now, maybe it is for the second wife's family property, how can he keep it?

Seeing that Xue scorpion had left, she originally wanted to use the power of the Jia family to support the last property of the Xue family, but who would have thought that Mrs. Wang actually resigned from the marriage regardless of her usual affection, which made Aunt Xue's last A glimmer of hope was also shattered, and she felt even more disgusted with Mrs. Wang's ruthlessness and ruthlessness. She wished to eat her flesh and sleep on her skin. Baochai was so angry that she gritted her teeth and used her usual fever as an excuse. Because the Xue family is useless, kicking it away like this is really chilling.

However, Xia Jingui had already rolled up the dowry brought in that day and returned to the Xia family, which made the mother and daughter of the Xue family even more gloomy. Xiangling was taken away, and now there is only Ying'er left to serve her.

On this day, Baochai was doing needlework in the courtyard, but she heard the sound of a sedan chair at the front door, so Aunt Xue rushed to the door, looking at the sedan chair bearing the banner of Prince Zhongshun, Aunt Xue couldn't help being stunned. , Immediately thinking of what Baochai said in the usual days, I was overjoyed, and was about to ask, but was shouted by a woman: "Hurry up and open the gate, and welcome the princess's car and sedan, you are so low She is also worthy of a noble person like the princess."

Aunt Xue hurriedly opened the door after her words, but the woman pushed Aunt Xue away and ordered the servants behind her to bring in Princess Zhongshun's phoenix sedan chair, ignoring Aunt Xue who was stunned aside.

When Baochai saw the phoenix sedan chair coming in, she was taken aback for a moment, and when the young servants retreated, the maidservants hurried forward to raise the curtain of Princess Zhongshun's sedan chair, but they never got out of the sedan chair, and only sat in the sedan chair, He took a light look at Xue's family before looking at Baochai in front of him.

The fierce phoenix eyes swept away lightly, and said lightly: "Although the Xue family is an imperial merchant and doesn't understand etiquette, don't they understand the basics of superiority and inferiority?" The mother who followed Princess Zhongshun laughed and said : "What the princess said is very true, such a family, how can there be any courtesy."

That Baochai jumped when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down, saying: "Xue Baochai, my servant, has seen the princess." She was a little secretly startled, not knowing why Princess Zhongshun came here, thinking about the rumors about it these days Rumors, I couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

Concubine Zhongshun looked at Baochai who was kneeling on the ground, covered the look of disgust in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Look at Miss Xue, she is really beautiful, she is really a rare beauty in the world." After listening to Concubine Zhongshun's words, Baochai felt even more uneasy, so she had to hang her head and said: "Slaves and servants are shallow in appearance, dare not compete with the sun and moon of the princess, and can't compare with the noble and bright nature of the princess."

Princess Zhongshun laughed coquettishly when she heard Gege, looked at the nurse beside her and said, "Look at this little mouth is really very sweet." Then she said, "Get up." Baochai hurriedly thanked En and stood up when she heard the words , but there was a flash of joy in his heart, but his face was still calm and steady.

How could Princess Zhongshun not see a hint of joy on her face?I have seen countless intrigues in the palace, open and secret fights in the mansion, how can I not understand Baochai's careful thinking, so I sneered, and said with a smile: "I came here today, just to see Miss Xue, as expected, I didn't let you go." This princess is disappointed, since this is the case, let's go back to the mansion with this princess, there happens to be a girl missing by my side."

Baochai was even more delighted when she heard this, but she still said humbly: "The slaves are born shallow, but if the princess doesn't dislike them, the slaves should serve the princess with all their heart." I thought that Princess Zhongshun's visit today must have bad intentions, but I didn't expect There is such a good thing. Although I am a little doubtful, I am a little clear. I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing when the rumors spread that day. I think it must be that Princess Zhongshun is afraid of losing face, so she just personally He came to pick him up into the mansion, and he seemed to be a very thoughtless person.

Can't compare to my own beauty, let alone my talent, there is a little bit of hope in the eyes, it can't be said that in the future, I can sit in this seat, besides, as long as I enter the Zhongshun Palace, With his talent and beauty, wouldn't he be like a fish in water, and his skillful means will definitely make everyone submissive? It is obvious to all that the ambition of Qingyun for many years is finally coming true. Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in my heart. If he gained power, none of those who offended him would be forgiven.

Concubine Zhongshun looked at Baochai's happy face, and a cold look flashed across her mouth, she waved her hand and said, "Gui Nanny, you wait here for Miss Xue, my concubine is leaving first." Nanny Gui nodded. He nodded, lowered the sedan chair lightly, and ordered the servant outside the door to carry the Feng sedan chair out, but Baochai was waiting coldly here.

That Baochai respectfully sent Princess Zhongshun out, and was ready to turn around and pack her bags. Aunt Xue also came to help happily. She never expected such a good thing to happen now that the Xue family is in decline. As long as Baochai enters the Zhongshun Palace , Xue Pan's affairs must also be settled.

Nanny Gui looked at Aunt Xue and Baochai coldly, and said, "Miss Xue, let's go." Baochai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll turn around and pack some clothes. Mammy will wait for a while."

Nanny Gui sneered and said, "It's just that you don't need to pack any clothes if you want to go to the mansion to be a girl. You just follow me. I don't have time to wait for you." Thoughts turned in my heart, and I said: "In this case, please ask the mother to lead the way, and the servant will follow the mother."

Aunt Xue saw that the nanny was about to leave, and hurriedly put the only pair of gold bracelets in the hands of the nanny, and said: "In the future, I will trouble the nanny to take care of you." Nanny Gui weighed the gold bracelets in her hand However, she took Baochai and walked out, leaving only Aunt Xue who was somewhat happy alone.

Walking out of Xue's house, she only saw a small blue sedan chair, and she was about to step forward to get on the sedan chair, but the mother sneered and said, "This is my sedan chair." Baochai smiled shyly, turned around and looked around, and said There were no carriages or sedan chairs, so he said, "I don't know where the servant's sedan chair is?"

Nanny Gui smiled coldly, and the little girl standing beside her also pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Look at this newcomer, after all, he is a newcomer, but he is just a maidservant, but he wants to be a sedan chair, isn't that the best thing in the world?" It's a joke." Nanny Gui also said, "If you are a servant, you have to behave like a servant, so let's go with the sedan chair."

Baochai was even more stunned when she heard that, seeing that Nanny Gui had already got into the sedan chair, she gritted her silver teeth secretly, and felt even more bitter in her heart, but she also walked away with the crowd because of Qing Yunzhi in her heart, but Baochai was born plump After walking for a long time, he was already sweating and out of breath, but his eyes were even more angry. If he could gain power in the future, he would definitely take these people first.

After finally arriving at Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Nanny Gui ordered Baochai to stand in the courtyard and wait, then led the crowd away, leaving Baochai standing alone in the courtyard, not knowing where she was going.

After half a day, there was no movement at all, Baochai was tired and hungry, she was a little dizzy, she was even more ashamed and angry when she saw the eyes of the envoys looking at her, but under the low eaves, she had to bow her head .

"Miss Xue, the concubine welcomes you." A little girl came out and called Baochai expressionlessly. Baochai hurriedly followed the little girl when she heard this, but she stood there for too long, her legs were a little flimsy, and she fell immediately. She made a somersault, which made the people beside her burst into laughter. Baochai was even more ashamed and annoyed, so she hurriedly got up and followed the little girl.

After finally arriving at Princess Zhongshun's main room, seeing Baochai's dirty appearance, Princess Zhongshun took a disgusted look, and half-truly said angrily: "Look, what it looks like, you guys There must be no good treatment for Miss Xue, otherwise how could it be like this?" After hearing this, Baochai's heart was filled with infinite hope, and she looked up at Princess Zhongshun who was sitting gracefully and luxuriously in the upright seat. An extremely beautiful young girl was also sitting on the side. The two of them looked very similar, so they must be Xianya County Lord.

Then she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Chen Yali looked at Baochai's dirty appearance, feeling a little annoyed in her heart, and said, "Sister, where did you find this beggar woman, and you can even enter the palace?"

That Baochai turned pale when she heard this, but Princess Zhongshun smiled and said, "She is Miss Xue after the emperor's business, but now she is the maidservant of our palace, so she should change her name, this Baochai listens. It is extremely unlucky, Lier, what do you think it should be called?"

After hearing Baochai's dirty appearance, Chen Yali clapped her hands and laughed, "Isn't this just a ready-made one, it's called mud mother-of-pearl." Chen Yali's words made everyone in the room laugh immediately When she got up, Princess Zhongshun also smiled from ear to ear, and only patted Chen Yali's hand.

Baochai was secretly startled when she heard this, she was overwhelmed by the joy in her heart just now, but now she has a clear understanding, she can't help complaining secretly in her heart, now that she is the first time here, she has already been given a warning, if she stays here again, I'm afraid that it's not a matter, so I hurriedly said: "The slaves are born so shallow that they have spoiled the eyes of the princess and the county monarch, so I just let the slaves go home."

Concubine Zhongshun looked at Baochai coldly, and said with a sneer, "Ms. Xue's words are so rude. Since she entered our palace, this fate belongs to our palace. You can't help but pick and choose. How can our palace belong to you?" Come, leave as soon as you say?" As he said, he ordered the close servant girl beside him: "Just follow the county lord's words, and call her a mud mother bead, and you take her to change clothes, and train her well. The maids in our mansion are not so ignorant of etiquette."

The maid hurriedly responded with an apologetic smile, and ordered the two rough envoys outside the door to take Baochai out. This Baochai was really regretful, and was about to say something, but was pulled out of the door.

Looking at Baochai who was pulled out, Chen Yali looked at the sternness on Princess Zhongshun's face, and said, "Sister, aren't you afraid that she will ruin her reputation by declaring everywhere?"

Princess Zhongshun smiled lightly, and said: "Since she understands the purpose of my bringing her into the mansion, she must not dare. Don't worry, Li'er, sister has her own intentions. After all, this evil cannot be left behind. What she values ​​is the power in the mansion. Fugui, such a vulgar woman, there are many ways to deal with her."

Chen Yali nodded when she heard this, and ignored this Baochai, she just joked with Princess Zhongshun, but suddenly remembered something, this Baochai of the Xue family also lived in Jia's residence before, presumably she also knew that many Daiyu were in Jia's residence Thinking about this matter, Chen Yali had another meaning in her heart.

Prince Zhongshun's water seeped in, with a look of surprise in his expression, he said lightly: "Who is the person who just left?" Princess Zhongshun got up to greet her, and said with a faint smile: "It's just rumors from the outside world, who wants to please the prince with all his heart That's all."

Shui Jian frowned slightly after hearing this, and said: "It turned out to be her." He was even more annoyed in his heart, and said: "Forget it, forget it, why did you bring such a woman into the mansion?" Princess Zhongshun said: "Could it be that the prince looks at it Fuck that woman, or let the prince stay in the house?"

Shui Jian said coldly: "This kind of woman has a lot of experience. Although she looks a bit pretty, she is a vulgar makeup fan. I just leave it to you and let you dispose of it. Just don't let outsiders stay." handle."

Princess Zhongshun nodded after hearing this, a cold smile flashed across her mouth, she knelt down and said, "Of course I won't let the prince fall into others' hands." Shui Jian only nodded after hearing this.
